Hi, 
I have a strange problem: 
Sometimes when I do some editing with xemacs, keyboard focus remains in 
xemacs's window even after the mouse has left xemacs. Anything I try
to write to xterm or whatever, goes to xemacs's buffer. This happens
very randomly, I haven't found any "rule" to this behaviour.

In Fvwm I should be able to change desktop using Ctrl-arrow -keys, but
that doesn't work either when xemacs has "stolen" the keyboard. 
The other applications get kbd focus after I exit xemacs.

This is really annoying.
I'm using FreeBSD 2.1.5, Xemacs 19.13 and Fvwm2-95.
